Latest version.
  • (1)

    Only one temporary residential dumpster unit may be placed on a residential property.

    (2)

    A temporary residential dumpster unit shall only be placed on a hardened surface and shall be located at the furthest point away from the street.

    (3)

    A temporary residential dumpster unit or similar enclosure is limited to 30 days on a property during any 365-day period beginning on the date of the placement of the unit.

    (4)

    In no event shall a temporary residential dumpster or similar enclosure be placed in a public street or on the right-of-way.

    (5)

    In no event shall a temporary residential dumpster or similar enclosure pose an obstruction for public safety.

    (6)

    In cases where there is an active building permit to significantly perform a major remodel to an existing home or to construct a new home the temporary residential dumpster unit or similar enclosure may be placed on the property as long as there is an active building permit and work is progressing to the satisfaction of the building official. Only debris from the permitted construction activity is permitted in a temporary residential dumpster. In no event will the temporary residential dumpster unit be allowed to remain on a property for over 180 days. At the time of issuance of a certificate of occupancy or letter of completion the removal of the temporary residential dumpster unit will be required within five days after the issuance date. If no driveway with a hardened surface exists on the property where a new home is being constructed, a gravel pad shall be provided for placement of the temporary residential dumpster to prevent erosion on the site.

    (7)

    In cases where a hardship can be demonstrated, the director of community development may grant an extension on a property for 30 days. Only three 30-day extensions may be granted at a specific site by the director of community development. Any additional request for an extension may be considered by the board of commissioners zoning hearing as an "other business" agenda item. A hardship may be caused by an accidental or unintentional fire, flood, natural disaster or other circumstances presented on a case by case basis that creates a need for additional time for the unit to remain on the property. The applicant for the extension shall bear the burden of proof to document and demonstrate, in writing, to the director the basis for the required extension.
